Let us introduce the role

AWE is currently recruiting for an Engineering Manager for the Capital Engineering function

The Future Materials Campus, or FMC, is at heart an infrastructure project, building seven state-of-the-art facilities to enable the nuclear security technologies and science for generations to come. Trusted by government, AWE will deliver this complex infrastructure programme which will provide the capability to manufacture, test and store materials needed for the country's continuous at sea deterrent (CASD). Learning from industry best-practice, this multi-year endeavour will be delivered in partnership with our supply chain and nurture the skills of engineers and scientists who have yet to be born as the UK revolutionises its national expertise in nuclear science and technologies. The FMC is a massive undertaking - essentially, we are building the same amount of infrastructure delivered by Crossrail on a space the size of the 2012 Olympic Park. While it is challenging, it also offers amazing opportunities to develop skills, create jobs and innovate in design, construction, and science.

As an Engineering Manager, you'll be the focal point for supporting our existing and new high hazard facilities and operations. Partnering with the Principal Engineering Manager, it will be your responsibility to ensure facility designs (infrastructure, utilities, processes, equipment) are suitable and appropriate by identifying and selecting solutions to meet business needs, whilst considering functional performance and licencing conditions.

Who are we looking for?

We do need you to have the following:

• HNC/HND qualification or 4+ years industry experience

• Ability to work across functions, providing a supportive interface between the Facility, Safety Case Subject Matter Experts and Technical Authorities.

• Experience of managing both external suppliers and in-house teams to deliver Project design packages

• Experience of all aspects of the project life-cycle

• Establishment of requirements and problem definition.

• History of developing and designing solutions

• Configuration management and application of change control

Everyone who works at AWE brings unique skills and perspectives to the table. We recognise that great people don't always 'tick every box'. That's why we focus on your potential, your fit with our values, your transferable skills as well as your experience. Even if you don't meet every point below, but you feel that this role and AWE are a great fit for you, please go ahead and apply, we'd love to receive your application.

Whilst not to be considered a tick list, we'd like you to have experience in some of the following:

• The delivery of engineering design and outputs which underpin continuous safe operations

• Contributing within a multi-discipline environment and being responsible for the engineering design and guardianship of high integrity assets through the whole life cycle

• Articulating technical complexities and allocate Project/Design Engineers with design-related tasks to meet with working programmes

You'll need to have the ability to work calmly and constructively in a priority changing environment and be able to manage your own workload. You will also have initiative, enthusiasm, a flexible approach, and ability to work to tight deadlines.

Some reasons we think you'll love it here:

AWE has wide range of benefits to suit you. These include:
